I've even seen some stay on the market for 30 or so days before going into contract (I think something was up with that house).

I look forward to staying connected and getting to know you and @Mike Reynolds as well.

I've a tenant moving out within the next few days and have a General Inspector lined up and also need to have contractors come in and give us bids for rehab, my question is for out of state investors: How do you stay on top of/manage projects being done without your supervision? 

You make money and they keep a place to stay.

So I am staying my initial buy, fix, and rent with this one.

It's in a quiet area with not much around, however it stays full at $255/night and a 3 day minimum.

I have also found that since I am in such a competitive market (central Florida) that the rate is low enough on the 4-bedroom that I often get couples who could stay in something much smaller but find our house worth the slightly higher cost.

The good agents will stay in the space and continue to win the business of people that understand the value they provide.

You are not too familiar with the area, so if your short-term stay is near an airport you have less travel time and can spend less on taxis.

Should we stay away from group homes?
